Is there any large sunbelt metro area where people walk everywhere and use transit for daily routine trips?

Cbdallas

Maple Avenue has some serious building activity happening and about to happen all the way from Oak Lawn to McKinney ave.

Cbdallas

On a parking lot by the freeway and build another garage to maintain parking for the mall. I know several people comment that they would live here if possible in a high rise as well.

Cbdallas

Put park areas around the entire land area. Put apartment towers around and units on top of galleria. Put in a gym on a massive scale with things like a mountain wall or indoor kayaking. The entire area needs to be reimagined it was designed and built in another era things have changed the way we li...

First go ahead and build out the Knox Station. Bury the track and stations inside the main downtown loop and possibly in the very near perimeter around downtown. Another way to help the urban side is to take the new urban streetcar extend to Jefferson and also extend and merge with MATA into one mod...

What is the real issue and what could be done to have our rail system run when it is most needed during winter storms. Apparently Dallas still has winter so long term what can be done this makes us look bad as a metro.

Cbdallas

If light rail was all underground in the urban part of Dallas it would move faster like other systems. What slows it down are all of the street crossings. We don't have to abandon the system we just need to bury some of it and add some lines and urban stations (also expensive but not like switching ...

https://www.domusweb.it/en/sustainable-cities/2022/02/14/paris-2025-the-first-urban-cable-car-gets-ready-to-start.html I know this has already been done I believe in Columbia but this French system looks interesting. I wonder if there could be any real application here in Dallas. If I remember readi...

Is that the original Sanger Harris façade mural?

I saw this project being built early on off of I-45 and once I found out it was Exxon's project I knew their Headquarters here would be moving. What seems to me is Houston is still doubling down on Energy but Austin and Dallas are diversifying even more towards finance and tech. Long term I would ra...

10 stories of which 5 are parking. Couldn't they have put apartments above and gone up another 15 floors.

Cbdallas

I for one think the Bell Clock tower will stand the test of time.

Cbdallas

Maple Ave. is turning into quite the street with the planned towers from McKinney all the way down to the Crow development past Oak Lawn. I hope they all get built.

Cbdallas

If all of these developments on both sides of Woodall get going this could be a game changer for this part of urban Dallas.

Cbdallas

This is so cool I used to have an office on the 48th floor and the views were amazing. The very top part of that building will have some interesting floor plans as it lays out in triangle. I think we need to keep doing this in downtown and turn it into an urban residential zone as the go to for thos...

I will love not having to drive out to Northwest Highway or Lovers to get to a CM. I shop there about twice a week. Nice to have a big one in the urban core.

Cbdallas

I love what this project is doing to my property value as I live within sight of the new clock tower. I hope they jump the street across Maple and raise values even more.

Cbdallas

This needs to switch purpose to a residential tower.

Cbdallas

About 5 billion dollars to do what really needs to happen with the Trinity and that would change the course. We just have no natural draw to downtown like Austin has with the entire river area. Those towers in Houston are they residential downtown or just more expansion of oil and gas companies expa...

Cbdallas

My only problem with this plan is that it is only a low-Mid rise it should be a high rise tower.

Cbdallas

Build the new one over I-30 and deck park next to the new High Speed rail station.

Cbdallas

What developer would want to buy into this NIMBY anti urban nightmare that is East Dallas.

Cbdallas

I don't understand this part of Uptown in between West Village and Hall. It creates a gap of energy that should be filled with high rises and people everywhere. Eventually if it is not built out it will be a hole compared to rest of area.

Cbdallas

It takes a skilled and seasoned developer and marketing team to convert an apartment building to a condo building. I don't think this team has their act together.

What other similar systems are you comparing it to?

I am already liking how this makes the Crescent area feel more urban and connected.

Dallas needs to make Goldman Sachs an offer they can't refuse otherwise we will just keep on loosing the big fish to the Burbs as we have for so many years.

Cbdallas

There is an easy fix go vote them out. Somehow we have moved past actual voter turnout and into the backchannel games of culture wars and politics. If all the registered democrats in all of the large urban cities in Texas voted they would not even be in office. Voter turnout is our real dilemma.

Cbdallas

The HEB representative clearly stated that they are waiting on KDC to get things in motion and they don't have control of that aspect. As far as other urban spots going to an HEB store I don't see that for a while. Central Market is obviously their baby for urban Dallas and they are not ready to com...

Cbdallas

Ok finally straight from the higher up mouth of HEB/Central Market. I was shopping this last Saturday at CM at Northwest Hwy and noticed a person with a name tag on but was dressed up and the store was extra alert. I realized this was an onsite visit from Corporate. I went up and straight asked what...

Cityplace unfortunately suffers from the East of 75 syndrome not in my neighborhood anti development sentiment over there.

Is D2 Queued up for any funding in this new infrastructure bill?

This is an interesting article on how to repurpose underutilized malls.

Build residential towers into this development.

Cbdallas

Really glad to see this site get activated. I drove by the other day thought how long will this sit empty, I guess not that long.

Cbdallas

Silence.....sigh nothing.

Cbdallas

I bet they take over Del Frisco's Grille and open the old rooftop bar. I have heard they want out of that lease anyway.

Cbdallas

Maybe a new drive through Braum's.

Cbdallas

With the Quadrangle development and others nearby I would expect (hope) some kind of residential tower here.

Cbdallas

They should paint the crosswalks with the MAV and Stars logos

Cbdallas

Does anyone know about the old office building at Cole & Vine. I drove by it today and entire property is fenced off and there are rezoning signs up.

Cbdallas

Actually glad to see Adler move there. That style probably a better fit than next to Park Cities at Knox mix. West Village could use more interesting retail stores to create a reason to walk around and peruse. Probably got a good deal on the lease there also.

Dallas police department needs a new strategy that will allow Deep Ellum to become a free spirited party destination like the French Quarter while keeping tourists and excursionist safe from getting mugged. Keep the partiers safe and make sure they can get home without driving. There's no reason De...

Did a search but could not find any revised plans to show what it will look like.

Cbdallas

I have said it before but I am really loving this part of Downtown. Can see it connect and
merge with East District soon enough.

Cbdallas

I was just yesterday wondering when we would see conversions to condo with the housing market and interest rates where they are. Glad to see more ownership coming to Uptown.

Cbdallas

I drove by this today and it is fenced off with a proposed zoning sign up. It sits just behind the Quadrangle project at 2731 Cole Ave. Don't know what they are planning.

Cbdallas

I agree I love seeing it as I drive around from different perspectives.

Cbdallas

I live around the corner and can't wait to watch these go up. Glad to see what it will bring to the immediate area with new options, 400 plus new residents can support more restaurants and retail. We need more density not less.

Cbdallas

Does anyone know what the second restaurant concept going in on the other side?
